Stay away from the first few Sandy Bridge CPU/Chipsets.
Graphics gets RAM Priority if you use the on dye GPU and PCIe performance is 30% less the the P55, which is even less than the X58/5500 chipsets.
We got lucky with the X58 and i7 as they seemed to be designed for audio.
Triple Channel RAM is still my best advantage to date.
